Ask a question to the user above you!

Posted 5 years, 11 months ago (Edited 5 months, 11 days ago) by hedgemaze

We have lots of threads to ask questions to or about characters, but what about the users? In the vein of the Say something to the TH user above you! thread and the I want to see a TH user who... thread (and serving basically as a non-anonymous CuriousCat), this is a thread to help you get to know your fellow TH users better by asking the person above you a question. In return, the person below you will pose a question to you. After you're asked a question, edit your post with your answer! 

If you're uncomfortable or don't want to answer the question you were given for any reason, just say so and leave a fun fact about yourself so the game still serves its purpose. If a question is truly problematic, message me with any concerns.

Rules:

  • Don't ask questions that are very personal or could be uncomfortable, and bear in mind that many TH users are minors, so while I encourage you to look at the profile of the user above you and ask about something mentioned if you like (like their pets, their hobbies, or their current project), please don't ask very personal questions like exactly where someone lives.
  • Try to ask something fun or interesting, but it's fine if you don't know the person above you at all-- getting to know each other better is the point of this thread! It's fine to ask something general like what their hobbies are, who their favorite fictional character is, how they came up with their username, which of their own characters is their favorite, or how they found ToyHouse.
  • Of course, it's great if you ask something more specific, too! If you know they have a lot of fandom characters, you might ask how they got into that fandom, or if they have a unique art style, you might ask how they developed it!
  • There's another thread for specific questions about characters, and another for worlds, but you can ask general/broader questions about a person's creations here, like how long they've been working on their story, or what inspires or influences them. I'm not going to keep writing examples, but you get the idea. Just use common sense and try to get to know your fellow TH users better!
  • You can ask multiple questions in your comment if you want to, but only one is fine, too. This can be as in-depth or as casual as you like.
  • Please ping the person above you so you make sure that they see your question! If you're not sure how to do this, you simply type @THEIRUSERNAME, and they will be notified! This will not work if you edit the ping into your comment later (like if you wanted to claim and then edit your question in); you must put it in when you first submit the comment.
  • You are NOT ALLOWED to skip anyone in this thread. If you cannot see the post above you because the poster or you have blocked each other, wait for another person to comment before replying to the thread. Feel free to bump the thread to encourage others to participate!
  • Wait at least a couple of posts before going again.
  • Edit your original comment with your answer to keep this clear; please DO NOT add new comments to the thread just to answer someone's question. This gets confusing. Take it to private messages if you want to have an ongoing conversation.
  • You can bump the thread as often as you like; I don't mind.
  • Be nice and have fun!   Please don't be rude if someone asks you a question you've already answered before! If that happens, you may link your previous response if you don't want to go over it again, but I recommend adding something new to say about the topic, if you can!
  • Want to play the game in reverse? Answer a question from the user above!

The first person can either ask me something or just claim a spot!


Edit: my answer

"Hedgemaze Expo" is the name of the main characters' band in my comic! I've been using either HedgemazeExpo or Hedgemaze as a username ever since, which is to say since 2003! Most people just call me Hej for short now.

The name itself doesn't mean much of anything, other than that I liked both words and liked the sort of paradoxical nature of an exposition dedicated to huge structures that can't be moved (what do they exhibit, photos? bush samples? tiny mazes?). In terms of the comic, it's just supposed to be a unique, kind of awkward, and silly band name, because in-story, it's an inside joke between my characters Jill and Amber.

Since you mentioned on your profile that you want to make comics, what inspired you to want to do so? Any particular comic artists/comics that you are fond of?

I've always liked drawing even when I was little. Part of my motivation to keep at is my mom was into art, but largely gave it up as an adult. I always thought that was very sad, especially now as I wish I owned any of the things she made.

TenMomentsTill  What made you want to do art?

I notice you make a lot of your characters in Hero Forge, that's pretty cool! It makes me curious to know, do you have physical copies of your character's minis? Also do you play any TTRPGs?

v Idk what you're talking about lol, I am not much of a writer. The vast majority of my daydreams are never released from my brain. But no, I don't think there's anything in particular that inspired it. I've just always made characters and stories, pretty much my whole life.

RIDDL3R

Pastafang was there anything in particular that got you into writing? Like, were you inspired by soemthing which started making you daydream abut making your own? sorry if you've been asked this before!

tartintart

RIDDL3R Say, your art style looks awfully familiar. Any influences behind it? 

V Comic strips, 90s-2000s cartoons, storybooks, but mainly an Instagram artist.. 

muichiro

tartintart WHAT was the inspiration for your art style??? like where did it all begin? 

BewareOfTheMenace

muichiro Okay you used to play Overwatch before so who's your main?

V Not really actually. My first forum was DeviantART but I left after some...drama. And I was supposed to change my fav music on my profile everyday but I was too lazy for that.

zeta-male

TheMenace Was toyhouse your first forum site? Also how often does the current favourite song on your profile change?

VVV I kinda just got exposed to the idea of cosplay through getting into anime, and thought it was cool and I liked dressing up and performing, so why not? I've gone to a bunch of cons in cosplay, I want to go to more but can't make more cosplays right now.

What got you into cosplaying, was there any series or game that inspired you to do it specifically? Also, have you gone to any cons for it?

V I've known about it for a really long time so I just decided to watch it one random day last year and BOOM it's my favorite thing of all time outta nowhere it was kinda wild how fast the brainrot was. AND FORD IS MY FAVORITE OMG I COULD RANT ABOUT THAT CRUSTY OLD MAN FOR HOURS HES SO SILLY AND COOL AND
